Fisher-Fallgatter Mill, Waupaca, Waupaca County, WI

Significance: The Fisher-Fallgatter Mill stands as one of the few surviving flour mills in Wisconsin. Less than a century ago, hundreds of flour and gristmills were scattered across the state as settlers found Wisconsin's soil ideal for wheat raising, and the state's numerous rivers and streams offered ample waterpower. The Fisher-Fallgatter Mill was the last completely water-powered flour mill in the state when it closed in 1969. The relatively unchanged condition of the Fisher-Fallgatter Mill and its equipment, and its 85-years of continuous flour milling operation make this mill a significant site.
